Orji said the road has been bad for a long time, adding that it got worse since the government abandoned the renovation that was started in 2019.

In his words:

"Since we started creating awareness on this road, many people have been calling us to do the same in their states."

Also speaking, Ohaegbulam said when they started creating awareness, people that live in the area were wondering why they were honeymooning on a bad road. She said the people finally got the message and loved the idea.

Government hasn't done anything yet
